History When Anderson's band
The Fabulous Knobs broke–up, Baird's band
The Georgia Satellites did not have a recording contract. In 1984, the two became part of a new band out of
Raleigh, North Carolina called the Woodpeckers. When Dan Baird released his second solo album,
Buffalo Nickel in 1996, he included a hidden 12th track, "Frozen Head State Park," from The Yayhoos' recording sessions. The rest of The Yayhoo's songs "sat on a shelf for nearly five years." However, the tour was canceled because Baird was undergoing treatment for
leukemia. In 2020, The Yayhoos were selected to participate in the 5th Outlaw Country Cruise. ==Discography==
